Copy-Paste System Prompt / Routine Blueprint:
Connect to the Chroma MCP — Embeddings, vector search, document storage, and full-text search wi (chroma-mcp) MCP server using `claude mcp add chroma-mcp -- npx -y github:chroma-core/chroma-mcp`. First run a read-only discovery check invoking `chroma_list_resources` to verify connectivity and credentials, then summarize the structured response and ask before executing any state-modifying tool calls.
